Part 2/8:
In the early moments of the pandemic, many parents and caregivers realized that getting children to wash their hands is no easy task. Kids, naturally curious and often unhygienic, tend to pick up and put objects into their mouths—be it toys, furniture, or even pets—without a second thought. But with COVID-19, this behavior has taken on a new, more dangerous dimension, turning what was once a minor nuisance into a significant risk for disease transmission.
Despite increased awareness, motivating children to wash their hands thoroughly remains a challenge. Traditional methods—yelling, bribing, or pleading—can be ineffective and frustrating for adults. Enter innovative solutions aimed at making handwashing engaging and habitual.
